    That is what 506sports.com shows. CBS was AFC. FOX was NFC. When did this change?

    The upside to being a Rams fan is heartbreak.

    Sprinkles are for winners.

    Cross flex schedule enacted in 2014 allows NFC games to be on CBS (and AFC games to be on FOX)

    I’m surprised this GB vs STL game was cross flexed to CBS, they had the Browns vs Ravens game to choose from… it’s not like CBS would’ve been stuck with Bucs vs Jags as the only early game…..

    From wiki:

    Beginning in 2014, the NFL will also be able to “cross-flex” games between Fox and CBS, enabling CBS to televise NFC away games (including NFC vs. NFC contests), and Fox to broadcast AFC away games (including AFC vs. AFC contests).[31][32] The league can also “cross-flex” some of these games before the start of the season. For example, in 2014, the Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons game in Week 17, originally a 1 PM Fox game, was cross-flexed to 4:25 PM on CBS. Despite the two teams’ losing records, they were playing a game where the winner would become the NFC South champion and host a first-round playoff game. As Fox already had crucial NFC North games with playoff implications, and CBS did not have any games with such assigned to 4:25 PM (games with AFC playoff implications had been assigned to 1 PM), the NFL reassigned the game to CBS at 4:25 PM to give affiliates a game with playoff implications at the time.

    While not officially referenced, the three Thanksgiving games may in the future be flexed to ensure the best game is on NBC as part of the Sunday night package. Only the three Thanksgiving games could be flexed between times.

    Cross flex. I had no idea. Thank you.
